Public Rec, then, is worth it from quality, price, and performance. While still far from cheap, finding them at a discount from MSRP makes it much more palatable. From a cost-to-use ratio, these are actually fairly reasonable. Public Rec Go-to Crew and All Day Every Day Pant I’ve genuinely worn these a few times a week and find myself coming to them time and again. But, I think most of the items are worth it for two reasons.įirst, I’ve gotten a ton of use out of nearly every item I was sent. $54 for a t-shirt and between $98 and $108 for some casual pants isn’t cheap. I do like the collar as well- it’s an elevated casual that’s done well in a few Zoom calls.īut, I wouldn’t put it on over an Oxford. It’s phenomenally comfortable for lounging around the house. However, Public Rec offers a “workday” pant which might find the happy medium.

Chinos or some fitted denim would be a better option. And, certainly too casual for any kind of office environment. Perhaps it’s just my style, but I find them a little too casual for most social gatherings. But, I’ve rarely worn them out in public for a significant period of time other than to drop my daughter off at day care. I’ve worn the joggers and ADED pants at least twice a week over the last six months. If you wash on cold and dry on delicate, the color will hold and you shouldn’t run into any shrinking problems, either. I’ve washed and dried each item at least ten times. With one exception on the seat of the ADED pant where my dog scratched with her paws, these have taken a beating and survived. Polyester, even from brands charging a premium, has a nasty habit of pulling, pilling, and fading. The fabric has also held up remarkably well. I’ve also worn the t-shirt to the gym a few times, and haven’t experienced any significant odor retention. I’ve worn the ADED pant and t-shirt on a 10-hour road trip, because they were the best things for the job. They became my go-to on the weekends, when I was still fielding work calls. I’ve worn both the ADED pant and joggers while logging 12 hour days at a high-stress job. However, the 30×30 waist size is a great fit for my 32″ waist.

I did have to take a straight fit in the ADED pants, because a slim really squeezed my thighs and calves. After six months of wear…Īfter wearing Public Rec for six months in a work-and-parent-from-home environment, I believe they’re fantastic.Įvery item fits my body type (5’7.5″, athletic build) wonderfully. You can stretch things out and they snap back with that satisfying ‘thwack.’īut, as I’ve written about before for this site, a ‘review’ isn’t especially useful if I just try stuff on and tell you whether or not it fits and I like it.Ĭlothes should be worn, washed, and lived in for a number of months to really get a sense of what they’re like. Each piece has a wonderful thickness, feeling much better than most of my gym pants. The colors I chose fit the neutral palette I favor, so it’s very easy to style the pieces around the house.

While I’m not a textile engineer, the materials are noticeably superior to a department-store gym pant. “Quality” and “polyester” don’t usually find themselves in the same sentence but, well, they just did. Let’s take a closer look at these items… Public Rec First Impressions

All Day Every Day Pant (Straight fit, 30×30).

Public Rec was kind enough to send over a number of items for testing. The ultimate goal is to be as comfortable as possible without sacrificing fit or polish.

Goldstein started the project solo with the ‘ADED.’ But, as the company has grown, they now offer a full range of tops, bottoms, and light outerwear for both men and (recently) women. It’s a blend of synthetic and performance fabric claiming to be as comfortable as a sweatpant, but with enough shape to wear out of the house without looking sloppy. Read on for my full review! About Public RecĮntrepreneur Zach Goldstein launched the brand on Kickstarter with the “ All Day Everyday” pant. So, what works? What doesn’t work? Ultimately, are these grown-up-track-pant-jogger-things worth it? Over the last six months, I’ve been testing a whole range of their products in a work-from-home environment. Public Rec makes elevated basics for the casual guy who still wants to look put together. I figure it’s the most comfortable you can be without getting sloppy. As I’ve been working from home for the last (seemingly endless) number of months, I’ve found myself replacing my denim or chinos with joggers and performance wear.
